Implications of uniparental disomy in forensic kinship testing: A case study of paternal isodisomy on chromosome 3.

Abstract excerpt

In typical inheritance, a child receives one chromosome of each pair from each parent. In rare cases, however, both chromosomes may be inherited from the same parent, a phenomenon known as uniparental disomy (UPD). In forensic kinship testing, UPD can lead to Mendelian inconsistencies between parent and child, increasing the risk of inconclusive or erroneous interpretations. In this case study, inconsistencies...
